Thanks for the Spellstrike AoE change. I find myself thinking of the Magus as more of a "precision instrument" than the typical combat mage chucking Fireballs, and having a choice about how to apply Spellstrike fits that neatly. Also, I'm dumb: I didn't quite realize until yesterday that one of the implicit functions of Aegis is to help make up for needing to prioritize INT over CON. I don't have a lot of personal interest in Order of Scales, but the change seems good; people taking this subclass almost certainly want to ride a dragon, so letting them do it earlier makes sense. BTW, while Spellstrike does say the imbuement lasts until the start of your next turn, it also says "If you hit a target with the imbued weapon before the end of your current turn, you can expend one spell slot to cast the imbued spell as part of that attack..." so one could argue that by a strict reading, it remains imbued after your current turn but you can't actually trigger it.
